Neuromorphic chips: "We’re essentially using time as a way of encoding information. Computation is based on the spatial and temporal positions of the pulses. This is sort of the fundamental way neurons communicate with other neurons."

Self-organizing: Holocracy: People aren’t ants (and organizations aren’t immune systems). Yes, human organizations share traits in common with other complex adaptive systems.
